# Click Spinner

Sometimes you would just like to show the user some progress,
but a progress bar is not suitable because you don’t know how much longer it would take.
In these cases you might want to display a simple spinner using the `spinner()` function.

Example usage:

```py
with click_spinner.spinner():
do_something()
do_something_else()
```

It looks like this:

Spinner class based on on a [gist by @cevaris](https://gist.github.com/cevaris/79700649f0543584009e).

Introduced in [PR #649](https://github.com/pallets/click/pull/649).

## Install

```
pip install click-spinner
```
